Not to sidetrack the conversation here, but I started to read up a bit on some ontological arguments for the existence of a supreme force or being, and I found the following argument from Descartes interesting:
Quote:
1. Whatever I clearly and distinctly perceive to be contained in the idea of something, is true of that thing.
2. I clearly and distinctly perceive that necessary existence is contained in the idea of God.
3. Therefore, God necessarily exists.

Kind of like how a transcendental number exists.
